“After the game in Australia, everybody was very disappointed with the result that we didn't deserve. But to come back and play at home in front of our own fans, giving this performance, was not easy,” said Kluivert.

“We have to be very happy with the result. I think that we deserved the win. The chances that we created, we deserve even more goals. I'm very proud of the team. They showed their heart and they created chances. I see only a bright future and this is just the beginning.”

“Now we have more time to fix everything and look forward to June.”

The Southeast Asian side will meet China PR and Japan in June’s concluding fixtures. 

Bahrain head coach Dragan Talajic expressed frustration with the defeat but remained hopeful about his team’s prospects.

“The result was disappointing for me because I believe we deserved at least a draw, but one mistake led to us conceding and after that, everything went in Indonesia's favour,” said Talajic. 

“I can't say anything negative about the players of my team, they've given their all so far, however, we can play at a better level. We will try to continue at this stage to show everyone our true potential and we hope to win the next two matches (against Saudi Arabia and China PR).

“The situation is difficult for our team now, but at the same time, Japan are the only team to have secured qualification. The competition is open for third and fourth place, and all teams still have a chance to qualify directly or via the playoffs.”
